These are the types of #datavis we would like to make more #accessible 😊 @daraprojectcity.bsky.social

At #CGVC2024 today to share all that has been happening in the Dara Project at City University Come and say hello and hear about accessible #datavis for people living with language disabilities, #aphasia and #DLD

Take a look at our exciting work on understanding #DataVis for people with #DLD #DevLangDis and people with #aphasia. AND give @daraprojectcity.bsky.social a follow! #SLPeeps #BlueSkySpeechies

Hot on the heels of #DLDday, Monday is the first international aphasia awareness day. Why not join in?: - Find information about aphasia via the hashtag #aphasia. - Watch our account for updates from the Dara project. - Follow @sayaphasia.bsky.social - Visit www.aphasia-international.com

It's almost the end of #DLDday and so here's my thread about Developmental Language Disorder. If you don't know about DLD then this is for you. If you know about DLD please share so more people learn about this common but widely unknown condition.

We are raising awareness of #aphasia by: 1. Talking about our research. The Dara project looks at everyday information - like maps, pie charts, and physical data to see how easy-to-use people with #aphasia or #DLD find it. #DevLangDis @sayaphasia.bsky.social @thestrokeassoc.bsky.social

Congratulations to everyone getting A level results today!

So if you didn’t get what you wanted, don’t despair! There are many different pathways 😊🎓
